Section 2 - Getting Started

Section 2 - Getting StartedThe D-Link DWL-x600AP unified access point (UAP) provides continuous, high-speed access between wireless devices and Ethernet devices. It is an advanced, standards-based solution for wireless networking in businesses of any size. The UAP enables wireless local area network (WLAN) deployment while providing state-of-the-art wireless networking features.

The UAP can operate in two modes: Standalone Mode or Managed Mode. In Standalone Mode, the UAP acts as an individual access point in the network, and you manage it by using the Administrator Web User Interface (UI), command-line interface (CLI), or SNMP. In Managed Mode, the UAP is part of the D-Link Unified Wired and Wireless System, and you manage it by using the D-Link Unified Wireless Switch. If an AP is in Managed Mode, the Administrator Web UI, Telnet, SSH, and SNMP services are disabled.

This document describes how to perform the setup, management, and maintenance of the UAP in Standalone Mode. For information about configuring the AP in Managed Mode by using the D-Link Unified Wireless Switch, see the User Manual for the switch.

Before you power on a new UAP, review the following sections to check required hardware and software components, client configurations, and compatibility issues. Make sure you have everything you need for a successful launch and test of your new or extended wireless network.

The DWL-6600AP and DWL-8600AP are dual-radio access points and support the IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n modes. The DWL-2600AP and DWL-3600AP are single-radio access points and support the IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, and 802.11n (2.4 GHz) modes.

This section contains the following topics:) Administrators Computer Requirements on page 11) Wireless Client Requirements on page 12) Dynamic and Static IP Addressing on the AP on page 13) Installing the UAP on page 13) Basic Settings on page 16) Using the CLI to View the IP Address on page 17) Configuring the Ethernet Settings on page 18) Configuring IEEE 802.1X Authentication on page 19) Verifying the Installation on page 20) Configuring Security on the Wireless Access Point on page 21

To manage the UAP by using the Web interface or by using the CLI through Telnet or SSH, the AP needs an IP address. If you use VLANs or IEEE 802.1X Authentication (port security) on your network, you might need to configure additional settings on the AP before it can connect to the network.

Note: The WLAN AP is not designed to function as a gateway to the Internet. To connect your WLAN to other LANs or the Internet, you need a gateway device.

Administrators Computer RequirementsThe following table describes the minimum requirements for the administrators computer for configuration and administration of the UAP through a Web-based user interface (UI).

Required Software or Component DescriptionSerial or Ethernet Connection to the Access Point

The computer used to configure the first access point must be connected to the access point by a serial cable or an Ethernet cable.




Required Software or Component DescriptionWireless Connection to the Network After initial configuration and launch of the first access point on your

new wireless network, you can make subsequent configuration changes through the Administration Web pages using a wireless connection to the internal network.

For wireless connection to the access point, your administration device will need Wi-Fi capability similar to that of any wireless client:

) Portable or built-in Wi-Fi client adapter that supports one or more of the IEEE 802.11 modes in which you plan to run the access point.

) Wireless client software configured to associate with the UAP.Web Browser and Operating System Configuration and administration of the UAP is provided through a Web-

based user interface hosted on the access point.

We recommend using one of the following supported Web browsers to access the access point Administration Web pages:

) Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7.x or 8.x (with up-to-date patch level for either major version)

) Mozilla Firefox version 3.5 or later) Safari 5 and later versions

The administration Web browser must have JavaScript enabled to support the interactive features of the administration interface.

Security Settings Ensure that security is disabled on the wireless client used to initially configure the access point.

Table 2 - Requirements for the Administrators Computer

Wireless Client RequirementsThe UAP provides wireless access to any client with a properly configured Wi-Fi client adapter for the 802.11 mode in which the access point is running. The UAP supports multiple client operating systems. Clients can be laptop or desktop computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), or any other hand-held, portable or stationary device equipped with a Wi-Fi adapter and supporting drivers.

To connect to the access point, wireless clients need the software and hardware described in the following table.

Required Component DescriptionWi-Fi Client Adapter Portable or built-in Wi-Fi client adapter that supports one or more of the

IEEE 802.11 modes in which you plan to run the access point.Wireless Client Software Client software, such as Microsoft Windows Supplicant, configured to

associate with the UAP.Client Security Settings Security should be disabled on the client used to do initial configuration of

the access point.

If the Security mode on the access point is set to anything other than plain text, wireless clients will need to set a profile to the authentication mode used by the access point and provide a valid username and password, certificate, or similar user identity proof. Security modes are Static WEP, IEEE 802.1X, WPA with RADIUS server, and WPA-PSK.

For information about configuring security on the access point, see Virtual Access Point Settings on page 47.

Table 3 - Requirements for Wireless Clients




Dynamic and Static IP Addressing on the APWhen you power on the access point, the built-in DHCP client searches for a DHCP server on the network in order to obtain an IP Address and other network information. If the AP does not find a DHCP server on the network, the AP continues to use its default Static IP Address (10.90.90.91) until you re-assign it a new static IP address (and specify a static IP addressing policy) or until the AP successfully receives network information from a DHCP server.

To change the connection type and assign a static IP address by using the CLI, see Configuring the Ethernet Settings on page 18 or, by using the Web UI, see Ethernet Settings on page 35.

Caution! If you do not have a DHCP server on your internal network, and do not plan to use one, the first thing you must do after powering on the access point is change the connection type from DHCP to static IP. You can either assign a new static IP address to the AP or continue using the default address. We recommend assigning a new static IP address so that if you bring up another WLAN AP on the same network, the IP address for each AP will be unique.

Recovering an IP Address

If you experience trouble communicating with the access point, you can recover a static IP address by resetting the AP configuration to the factory defaults (see Resetting the Factory Default Configuration on page 81), or you can get a dynamically assigned address by connecting the AP to a network that has a DHCP server.

Discovering a Dynamically Assigned IP Address

If you have access to the DHCP server on your network and know the MAC address of your AP, you can view the new IP address associated with the MAC address of the AP.

If you do not have access to the DHCP server that assigned the IP address to the AP or do not know the MAC address of the AP, you might need to use the CLI to find out what the new IP address is. For information about how to discover a dynamically assigned IP address, see Using the CLI to View the IP Address on page 17.

Installing the UAPTo access the Administration Web UI, you enter the IP address of the AP into a Web browser. You can use the default IP address of the AP (10.90.90.91) to log on to the AP and assign a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP server on you network to assign network information to the AP. The DHCP client on the AP is enabled by default.

To install the UAP, use the following steps:1.) Connect the AP to an administrative PC by using a LAN connection or a direct-cable connection.

) To use a LAN connection, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the network port on the access point and the other end to the same hub where your PC is connected, as shown in the following figure.

The hub or switch you use must permit broadcast signals from the access point to reach all other devices on the network.




) To use a direct-cable connection, connect one end of an Ethernet straight-through or crossover cable to the network port on the access point and the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the PC, as shown in the following figure. You can also use a serial cable to connect the serial port on the AP to a serial port on the administrative computer.

For initial configuration with a direct Ethernet connection and no DHCP server, be sure to set your PC to a static IP address in the same subnet as the default IP address on the access point. (The default IP address for the access point is 10.90.90.91.)

If you use this method, you will need to reconfigure the cabling for subsequent startup and deployment of the access point so that the access point is no longer connected directly to the PC but instead is connected to the LAN (either by using a hub or directly).

Note: It is possible to detect access points on the network with a wireless connection. However, we strongly advise against using this method. In most environments you may have no way of knowing whether you are actually connecting to the intended AP. Also, many of the initial configuration changes required will cause you to lose connectivity with the AP over a wireless connection.

2.) Connect the power adapter to the power port on the back of the access point, and then plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet.

3.) Use your Web browser to log on to the UAP Administration Web pages.) If the AP did not acquire an IP address from a DHCP server on your network, enter 10.90.90.91 in the address

field of your browser, which is the default IP address of the AP.) If you used a DHCP server on your network to automatically configure network information for the AP, enter the

new IP address of the AP into the Web browser.) If you used a DHCP server and you do not know the new IP address of the AP, use the following procedures to

obtain the information:

) Connect a serial cable from the administrative computer to the AP and use a terminal emulation program to access the command-line interface (CLI).

) At the login prompt, enter admin for the user name and admin for the password. At the command prompt, enter get management.

) The command output displays the IP address of the AP. Enter this address in the address field of your browser. For a more detailed explanation about how to log on to the CLI by using the console port, see Using the CLI to View the IP Address on page 24.

4.) When prompted, enter admin for the user name and admin for the password, then click Logon.

Figure 2 - Web UI Login Prompt

When you first log in, the Basic Settings page for UAP administration is displayed, as the following figure shows.




Figure 3 - Provide Basic Settings

5.) Verify the settings on the Basic Settings page.) Review access point description and provide a new administrator password for the access point if you do not

want to use the default password, which is admin.) Click the Apply button to activate the wireless network with these new settings.

Note: The changes you make are not saved or applied until you click Apply. Changing some access point settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change access point settings when WLAN traffic is low.

For information about the fields and configuration options on the Basic Settings page, see Basic Settings on page 16.

6.) If you do not have a DHCP server on the management network and do not plan to use one, you must change the Connection Type from DHCP to Static IP.

You can either assign a new Static IP address to the AP or continue using the default address. We recommend assigning a new Static IP address so that if you bring up another UAP on the same network, the IP address for each AP will be unique. To change the connection type and assign a static IP address, see Configuring the Ethernet Settings on page 18 (CLI) or Ethernet Settings on page 35 (Web).

7.) If your network uses VLANs, you might need to configure the management VLAN ID or untagged VLAN ID on the UAP in order for it to work with your network.

For information about how to configure VLAN information, see Configuring the Ethernet Settings on page 18 (CLI) or Ethernet Settings on page 35 (Web).

8.) If your network uses IEEE 802.1X port security for network access control, you must configure the 802.1X supplicant information on the AP.

For information about how to configure the 802.1X user name and password, see Configuring IEEE 802.1X Authentication on page 19.




Basic SettingsFrom the Basic Settings page, you can view various information about the UAP, including IP and MAC address information, and configure the administrator password for the UAP. The following table describes the fields and configuration options on the Basic Settings page.Field DescriptionIP Address Shows the IP address assigned to the AP. This field is not editable on this page because

the IP address is already assigned (either by DHCP, or statically through the Ethernet Settings page).

IPv6 Address Shows the IPv6 address assigned to the AP. This field is not editable on this page because the IP address is already assigned (either by DHCPv6, or statically through the Ethernet Settings page).

issues related to the AP.System Location Enter the physical location of the AP, for example Conference Room A.

Table 4 - Basic Settings Page

Connecting to the AP Web Interface by Using the IPv6 Address

To connect to the AP by using the IPv6 global address or IPv6 link local address, you must enter the AP address into your browser in a special format.

Note: The following instructions and examples work with Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) and might not work with other browsers.

To connect to an IPv6 global address, add square brackets around the IPv6 address. For example, if the AP global IPv6 address is 2520::230:abff:fe00:2420, type the following address into the IE7 address field: http://[2520::230:abff:fe00:2420].

To connect to the iPv6 link local address, replace the colons (:) with hyphens (-), add the interface number preceded with an s, then add .ipv6-literal.net. For example, if the AP link local address is fe80::230:abff:fe00:2420, and the Windows interface is defined as %6, type the following address into the IE7 address field: http://fe80--230-abff-fe00-2420s6.ipv6-literal.net.

Using the CLI to View the IP AddressThe DHCP client on the UAP is enabled by default. If you connect the UAP to a network with a DHCP server, the AP automatically acquires an IP address. To manage the UAP by using the Administrator UI, you must enter the IP address of the access point into a Web browser.

If a DHCP server on your network assigns an IP address to the UAP, and you do not know the IP address, use the following steps to view the IP address of the UAP:

1.) Using a null-modem cable, connect a VT100/ANSI terminal or a workstation to the console (serial) port.If you attached a PC, Apple, or UNIX workstation, start a terminal-emulation program, such as HyperTerminal or TeraTerm.

2.) Configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following settings:) Baud rate: 115200 bps) Data bits: 8) Parity: none) Stop bit: 1) Flow control: none

3.) Press the return key, and a login prompt should appear.The login name is admin. The default password is admin. After a successful login, the screen shows the (Access Point Name)# prompt.

4.) At the login prompt, enter get management.Information similar to the following prints to the screen.




Figure 4 - Command Line Interface (CLI) Connection

Configuring the Ethernet SettingsThe default Ethernet settings, which include DHCP and VLAN information, might not work for all networks.

By default, the DHCP client on the UAP automatically broadcasts requests for network information. If you want to use a static IP address, you must disable the DHCP client and manually configure the IP address and other network information.

The management VLAN is VLAN 1 by default. This VLAN is also the default untagged VLAN. If you already have a management VLAN configured on your network with a different VLAN ID, you must change the VLAN ID of the management VLAN on the access point.

For information about using the Web interface to configure the Ethernet settings, see Ethernet Settings on page 35. You can also use the CLI to configure the Ethernet settings, which the following section describes.

Configuring IEEE 802.1X AuthenticationOn networks that use IEEE 802.1X, port-based network access control, a supplicant (client) cannot gain access to the network until the 802.1X authenticator grants access. If your network uses 802.1X, you must configure 802.1X authentication information that the AP can supply to the authenticator.

If your network uses IEEE 802.1X see Configuring IEEE 802.1X Authentication on page 19 for information about how to configure 802.1X by using the Web interface.




Using the CLI to Configure 802.1X Authentication Information

Verifying the InstallationMake sure the access point is connected to the LAN and associate some wireless clients with the network. Once you have tested the basics of your wireless network, you can enable more security and fine-tune the AP by modifying advanced configuration features.

1.) Connect the access point to the LAN.) If you configured the access point and administrator PC by connecting both into a network hub, then your

access point is already connected to the LAN. The next step is to test some wireless clients.) If you configured the access point by using a direct cable connection from your computer to the access point,

do the following procedures:) Disconnect the cable from the computer and the access point.) Connect an Ethernet cable from the access point to the LAN.) Connect your computer to the LAN by using an Ethernet cable or a wireless card.

2.) Test LAN connectivity with wireless clients.Test the UAP by trying to detect it and associate with it from some wireless client devices. For information about requirements for these clients, see Wireless Client Requirements on page 12.

3.) Secure and configure the access point by using advanced features.Once the wireless network is up and you can connect to the AP with some wireless clients, you can add in layers of security, create multiple virtual access points (VAPs), and configure performance settings.

Note: The WLAN AP is not designed for multiple, simultaneous configuration changes. If more than one administrator is logged onto the Administration Web pages and making changes to the configuration, there is no guarantee that all configuration changes specified by multiple users will be applied.

By default, no security is in place on the access point, so any wireless client can associate with it and access your LAN. An important next step is to configure security, as described in Virtual Access Point Settings on page 47.




Configuring Security on the Wireless Access PointYou configure secure wireless client access by configuring security for each virtual access point (VAP) that you enable. You can configure up to 16 VAPs per radio that simulate multiple APs in one physical access point. By default, only one VAP is enabled. For each VAP, you can configure a unique security mode to control wireless client access.

Each radio has 16 VAPs, with VAP IDs from 0-15. By default, only VAP 0 on each radio is enabled. VAP0 has the following default settings:

) VLAN ID: 1) Broadcast SSID: Enabled) SSID: dlink1) Security: None) MAC Authentication Type: None) Redirect Mode: None

All other VAPs are disabled by default. The default SSID for VAPs 115 is dlinkx where x is the VAP ID.

To prevent unauthorized access to the UAP, we recommend that you select and configure a security option other than None for the default VAP and for each VAP that you enable.

For information about how to configure the security settings on each VAP, see Virtual Access Point Settings on page 47.

For information about configuring these settings, see Wireless Settings on page 37 and Modifying Radio Settings on page 40.

Viewing EventsThe Events page shows real-time system events on the AP such as wireless clients associating with the AP and being authenticated.

To view system events, click the Events tab.

Figure 6 - Viewing Events

From the Events page, you can perform the following tasks:) View the most recent, high-level events generated by this AP.) Enable and configure Persistent logging to write system event logs to non-volatile memory so that the events

are not erased when the system reboots.) Set a Severity Level to determine what category of log messages are displayed.) Set Depth to determine how many log messages are displayed in the Event log.) Enable a remote log relay host to capture all system events and errors in a Kernel Log.

Note: The AP acquires its date and time information using the network time protocol (NTP). This data is reported in UTC format (also known as Greenwich Mean Time). You need to convert the reported time to your local time.

Configuring Persistent Logging Options

If the system unexpectedly reboots, log messages can be useful to diagnose the cause. However, log messages are erased when the system reboots unless you enable persistent logging.

Caution! Enabling persistent logging can wear out the flash (non-volatile) memory and degrade network performance. You should only enable persistent logging to debug a problem. Make sure you disable persistent logging after you finish debugging the problem.

To configure persistent logging on the Events page, set the persistence, severity, and depth options as described in the following table, and then click Apply.




Field DescriptionPersistence Choose Enabled to save system logs to non-volatile memory so that the logs are not erased

when the AP reboots. Choose Disabled to save system logs to volatile memory. Logs in volatile memory are deleted when the system reboots.

Severity Specify the severity level of the log messages to write to non-volatile memory. For example, if you specify 2, critical, alert, and emergency logs are written to non-volatile memory. Error messages with a severity level of 3 7 are written to volatile memory.

) 0 emergency) 1 alert) 2 critical) 3 error) 4 warning) 5 notice) 6 info) 7 debug

Depth You can store up to 128 messages in non-volatile memory. Once the number you configure in this field is reached, the oldest log event is overwritten by the new log event.

Table 7 - Logging Options

Note: To apply your changes, click Apply. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN traffic is low.

Configuring the Log Relay Host for Kernel Messages

The Kernel Log is a comprehensive list of system events (shown in the System Log) and kernel messages such as error conditions, like dropping frames.

You cannot view kernel log messages directly from the Administration Web UI for an AP. You must first set up a remote server running a syslog process and acting as a syslog log relay host on your network. Then, you can configure the UAP to send syslog messages to the remote server.

Remote log server collection for AP syslog messages provides the following features:) Allows aggregation of syslog messages from multiple APs) Stores a longer history of messages than kept on a single AP) Triggers scripted management operations and alerts

To use Kernel Log relaying, you must configure a remote server to receive the syslog messages. The procedure to configure a remote log host depends on the type of system you use as the remote host.

Note: The syslog process will default to use port 514. We recommend keeping this default port. However; If you choose to reconfigure the log port, make sure that the port number you assign to syslog is not being used by another process.

Enabling or Disabling the Log Relay Host on the Events Page

To enable and configure Log Relaying on the Events page, set the Log Relay options as described in the following table, and then click Apply.

Field DescriptionRelay Log Select Enabled to allow the UAP to send log messages to a remote host. Select Disabled

to keep all log messages on the local system.Relay Host Specify the IP Address or DNS name of the remote log server.Relay Port Specify the Port number for the syslog process on the Relay Host.

The default port is 514.Table 8 - Log Relay Host




Note: To apply your changes, click Apply. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN traffic is low.

If you enabled the Log Relay Host, clicking Apply will activate remote logging. The AP will send its kernel messages real-time for display to the remote log server monitor, a specified kernel log file, or other storage, depending on how you configured the Log Relay Host.

If you disabled the Log Relay Host, clicking Apply will disable remote logging.

Viewing Transmit and Receive StatisticsThe Transmit/Receive page provides some basic information about the current AP and a real-time display of the transmit and receive statistics for the Ethernet interface on the AP and for the VAPs on all supported radio interfaces. All transmit and receive statistics shown are totals since the AP was last started. If you reboot the AP, these figures indicate transmit and receive totals since the reboot.
